Hydro Beam X1 DMX Addressing

DMX ADDRESSING

All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct xture

responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which

the xture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment

of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control

display on the xture.

You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or set dierent addresses

for each individual xture. Setting all xtures to the same DMX address will cause all xtures to react

in the same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will aect all the xtures

simultaneously.

If you set each xture to a dierent DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number

you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each xture. That means changing the settings

of one channel will only aect the selected xture.

In the case of the Hydro Beam X1, when in 11 Channel you should set the starting DMX address of

the rst unit to 1, the second unit to 12 (11 + 1), the third unit to 23 (12 + 11), and so on. (See the chart

below for more details.)
